@MARl0 by that stage it will be someone else's problem as they will do whatever they like to maximise their holdings for the shareholders. Also by that time it will be an issue for the Goverment to contend in regards to the jobless as companies will owe nobody any alligance except the shareholders as they will simply say it is all part of doing business. It will eventually end up with just 2 companies existing, each owning 50% of everything and the job of the head of each company will be to see how they can buy out the other.
The Ai genie is out of its bottle and no amount of screaming at the sky is going to do anything about it. Sooner or later it will come for almost everyone's jobs as company owners Worldwide will not give a toss about their workforce, only the cash they can save by not having one. Hollywood will become nothing but an I.P holding area with various companies licencing out their stars likenesses, voices, stories and settings to companies which will enable anyone to create whatever movie they want from their own prompts. Sooner rather than later you are going to have people who once worked not doing anything as their will be nothing to do.
I see my local council and others repeatedly keep attempting to revitilize the high street with each and every instance being a complete waste of time, effort and more importantly money.
The heady days of 70s/80s busy high streets are now just history as the high street of today are nothing but coffee places, take aways and charity shops.
It has been decades since I have bought a magazine from Smiths (the last one I can remember was Bizarre, and that must have been 20+ years ago) or the like as 95% of my reading material is all digitial with the other 5% being books bought from ebay or charity shops.
Should Smiths close, my only concern is where will the post offices go that are now housed in them or will this be something those who buy the stores will need to carry on?

Think I will put my feet up.
Re: Despite Its Recent "Rebirth", All Is Not Well In The World Of Commodore
@FPGAguru Dunno, I was kind looking forward to Commodore branded kids toys that could then be bought and sent his way.
The commodore college fund might be a step too far mind.
Re: This Man Now "Owns Commodore", But His Use Of Generative AI Has Some Fans Worried
Wonder if there will be any Commodore related baby/toddler toys that can then be purchased by viewers and then given to him as freebies?

The high street is simply dead.

@Damo thanks for the reply
Thought it might be worth asking.
Re: Tech Boffins Are Simulating The Raster Scanning Of Old-School CRTs On Modern Hardware
Speaking as a total non-tech head, with this in place, would it be possible to use old school light guns which need a crt to work on modern TVs?
Re: The Rocky Horror Picture Show Is Being Adapted Into A Retro-Style Platformer For Halloween
Not the first time it has been the inspiration for a game, though, is it?
There was the original Rocky Horror Show released by CRL way back in 1985 for the Speccy, C64, Amstrad and the Apple II.
